Leave A Light On For Me | ShoreTiles (Dredge-Style Gloomy Island Builder)

ShoreTiles is a game where during the day we build a little village around a lighthouse, but at night we need to defend our settlement against all sorts of aquatic beasties who want to eat us and destroy our beautiful lighthouse! It's got a definite Dredge feel to it, from the visuals and the music through to the sinister water monsters. Each day we have a number of tiles that we can place down adjacent to existing tiles. There are fields, houses of different colours, trees, walls and soldier camps. We also need to make use of adjacency bonuses because we get coins for putting the right buildings in the right places, and we need currency! At night we then direct our troops around the island to defeat the enemy who arrive by sea. There are explodey squid things, weird diving suit zombies and gigantic angler fish! If we survive we then get to spend our coins at the shop, where we invest in more tiles to generate more money but also more troops, plus we have a list of goals that we work through to unlock new types of tile.

In the middle of a cold, endless sea stands a solitary lighthouse. Around it, your island begins to take shape, tile by tile, piece by piece. The sun breaks through the clouds and hope is in the air, but something eerie lurks beneath the surface. ShoreTiles is a strategic building and defense game where strategy, wits and luck all contribute to your island’s ultimate fate. What begins as calm construction by day turns into a desperate fight for survival by night. Build what must protect you: Draw island tiles from an unforgiving deck and place them into your world. There is no undo, only what comes next. Connect matching terrain types, form patterns, and impose order on chaos. Efficient planning rewards you. Hesitation costs you space.But no matter how perfect your island looks… it is never truly safe. Prepare while you still can: Coins are more than progress, they are your only form of control: Raise new Lighthouses to push back the fog Build Settlements, Farms and Walls to bring your island to life and earn gold Establish Military Camps to defend your island from they who lurk below Because when darkness falls, they rise: Creatures emerge from the depths. Twisted forms, neither human nor beast. Silent. Relentless. Drawn to the lights and the lives of those on the shore. Your defense depends entirely on your preparation. Connected military tiles determine how many units stand against them. Features: Atmospheric tile placement centered around vulnerable lighthouses Constant pressure from an unseen threat beneath the waves Strategic combo mechanics with meaningful trade-offs Nightly attacks from eerie deep-sea creatures A fragile balance between expansion, economy, and defense Hidden relics and discoveries with powerful benefits High replayability through randomized tile sequences As long as the light burns, you still have a chance. The only question is: For how long? ---------------------------- Channel graphics designed by Penge in The Geek Cupboard.
